GEEVOR TIN MINE

Geevor Tin Mine is one of the many sites bearing witness to the Cornish coast's industrial past, when ore mining was important. The mine ceased operating in 1990 and is now a tourist attraction. Wearing a helmet, you descend into the mine, with a guide, and it's best to dress accordingly, as the visit can get messy. Claustrophobic visitors are advised not to... To find out more, a museum recounts the history of the site and the life of the miners. Their equipment and a series of photographs are on display. An interesting visit.
